good prints, bad soft proof

2008-01-20 by boborlehanneton

I read the message about "Show Edits in Preview" box.


My prints are good and are similar to my screen. But the soft proof is
not contrasted as if there were a veil.
How may I change the rendering of the soft proof?
If the "Show Edits in Preview" box is checked, print and soft proof
are affected.
If the "Show Edits in Preview" box is checked, print is affected and
soft proof is not affected.
What is the trid solution?

Another issue:
- if I use the calibration base to calibrate the spectroclorimeter,
there is a blue cast on the white patch. If I don't compensate the
white point, white appears blue on soft proof (prints are good). If I
compensate the white point, soft proof is yellow.
- if I calibrate the spectrocolorimeter on the paper (without white
point compensation), everything is ok (except contrast) and the prints
are nearly perfect. I know it is not the good way, but the result is
better...
